Frequently asked questions
What the Paperclip 16 icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The paperclip-16 icon represents a paperclip or attachment symbol, commonly used in digital interfaces to indicate file attachments or uploads. It symbolizes a way to attach or link files to a message or document.
In software like email clients or messaging apps, this icon may appear as a button or option to attach files to a message. Similarly, in digital platforms like Google Drive or Dropbox, this icon may be used to represent a file attachment or upload option.
From a UX perspective, this icon communicates the ability to attach or upload files, helping users to quickly understand how to share files with others. It also represents a design element that allows users to easily manage file attachments.
Paperclip 16 is one of 1,007 icons in Garden SVG Icons, made by Zendesk and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 16 × 16 grid.
Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds Paperclip16Icon to components/icons/garden-paperclip-16.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.
Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed Paperclip16Icon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.
Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.
With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Paperclip 16 icon, or any of 1,007 Garden SVG Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.
It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.
Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 16 × 16 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.
Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.
Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Paperclip 16", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. Paperclip16Icon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <Paperclip16Icon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.
Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.
Yes. Apache 2.0 allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.
No visible credit is required: Apache 2.0 only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Garden SVG Icons, Zendesk and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
